February Reading Wrap Up

How was your month for books?

I really enjoyed much of what I read this month (12) books, and I actually managed to read several of the books I said I was going to read as well. Here is the January 31st list I posted with my plans for Feb.

I love lists and checking off what I read and accomplished in a month. I just posted mine today too. I see you had a wonderful reading month. We tend to read different books so I like to check out your reads.Thanks for sharing.

You had an excellent reading month, Diane! And you posted about all of them too, which is fabulous. I had a good reading month, but haven't posted about some yet. I hope March goes as well for you. YOu had some 5/5 books there - I can't comment on any, I haven't read any but The Shining, which is one of my favourite horror books, so I'm thrilled to see you enjoyed the audio book of it. I am going to check out your review now :-)

I did actually manage quite a lot of reading this month, despite being in the throes of completing the illustrations for my own book - the final in a trilogy - and getting it out there on amazon (Violet Jelly Trilogy).

I enjoyed each but one, which left me so cold that i abandoned it. I am reading two at the moment - one quite mystic and the other autobiographical. It's good to have time to read in between writing.

I'm always amazed by how productive people are... you're one good example. Twelve books in a month is really something. Looking through your lists, just wondering how does reading Stephen King compared to watching his movie adaptations. What do you think of The Shining? How do you compare it with the film if you've seen it?

Thanks so much for the sweet comment. I think review writing sometimes takes the fun out of reading for me:)

As far as The Shining (book vs Movie). I think the movie was much more atmospheric. The remoteness of the hotel, the snow, crazy-eyed Jack Nicholson. I couldn't help but flash back to the movie (which I saw 4-5 times) though different sections of the book.

You had an amazing month. I'm trying really hard not to want to read Storytell but I will wait until I read your review. I so want Picoult to surprise me this time...I want to love it!! Have a great March!
